    you are only 14.

    why not enjoy being a kid.

    dont worry about things such as babies and moving into your own places any sooner than you have too.

    its not as much fun as you think.

    Seriously just stop right there... you are still pretty much a baby yourself alright. I don't know if you are sexually active yet or not but you have a big life ahead of you and a baby is so much responsibility that it takes over your life... I fantasized about that when i was your age and then it went away as i started getting older... Don't let guys take Advantage of you just for the sake of you wanting a kid a 14.... and this whole getting a place thing is ridiculous.... i moved out of home at 14 for different reasons and my whole life just went down the drain as i got in heaps of trouble with drugs.... seriously just take a look at yourself im not trying to be mean i just hate seeing young girls having kids and not being able to take care of them and barley being able to feed them... a child is not a doll its a human... please i hope you don't make a really stupid decision.. =]

    Go and volunteer for a week of back to back 10 hour shifts at a daycare centre for toddlers.

    When you go home in the evenings, clean your entire house, cook the evening meal for your whole family, wash, dry and iron all their clothes, go to the supermarket at midnight to shop for the next day, then come home and go to bed for 4 hours, ensuring you set your alarm clock to wake you at every hour on the hour. Then wake up, shower, and go off to the daycare centre again.

    Do all this without any money.

    I guarantee after a week the last thing you will want is a baby, when you realise it's REAL LIFE you're talking about here and not a teenage fantasy.

    You can't even rent your own place unless you get emancipated.

    If you have a child now you're going to hate your life.

    I don't know if you realize how hard it is to have a baby as a teen. I'm 17, working full time to pay for my own one living room apartment, my baby, and myself. I can't go to school because of work, so I have to pay $150 for each of my high school classes just so I can "graduate" with everyone else my age.

    You're 14 and I doubt you can even find a decent job that would allow to even support a child.

    Don't ruin your life.

    Hi. Please concentrate on being a teenager and if you are in school working hard. Whatever reasons you have that make you feel the need to have a child, you need to think them through again & with a trustworthy adult involved.

    When you GROW UP and do have children you're going to find yourself praying they don't feel the same way.
